thong socks

"blueberry" <bluebe...@mchsi.com>
What do you all think of thong socks? They are to be worn with thong
sandals and have a divider for big toe.

I'm of the opinion that if it's too cold to wear sandals without those
heavy socks then it makes more sense to wear closed shoes. It's not
particularly attractive and the only exceptions I make are for, say,
traditional Japanese dress where thin white socks like that may be worn
with zoris.

Please, not if you are an instructor in any class whatsoever, even
though you may be a Nobel candidate.

If it's cold enough to need these socks, wear shoes. The whole idea of
sandals is to cool your feet in warm weather. I think socks with
sandals is an unattractive look.

Isn't that the truth.... Teens resurrected the fugly Birkenstock clog and
I'll never get that. They were FUGLY the first time around.

Awful! If you have to wear socks, put on some shoes instead of sandals.

Definitely.
I can tell you there ARE also regional differences in the USA despite
everyone thinking they are aping either New York or California.

BTD: Practical if you like the comfort of flip flops and don't want to have
to wear slides, &c when it's a bit too cool to go barefoot while a bit too
warm to cover the foot entirely
Sock Dreams has nice ones, tell them Dyno sent you

It's so funny to see that subject again: the discussion on wearing
socks with sandals seems pretty recurrent on this forum. Some don't
like this look, other do... and there doesn't seem to have any
possible compromise between them!
So here is my opinion. This look is clearly generally pretty casual,
and I have to acknowledge that when worn by a man, I dislike it also.
On the other hand, a woman can wear a pretty pair of thin socks with
for example jeans and sandals: I think this look is very cute. I have
seen really pretty ads where a woman was wearing her socks with
sandals. At the Swiss National Expo, the hostesses were even all
dressed with a kaki suit, kaki socks and high heels sandals, and they
were really very nice looking.
Back to the initial subject. I have bought some pairs of fine thong
socks for my wife (white, light blue and pink). This allows her to
wear her thongs at home even during the cold Swiss winters. It seems
to be more confortable than the closed slippers, and I definitely find
this look much cuter also. Indeed she never goes out with her thong
socks, so it's rather a cocooning look. But she can very well receive
friends at home with a nice pair of jeans, socks and thongs.

No matter the color or the temperature, socks with sandals are dorky
looking. Like someone else here has already stated, only the Japanese
women can pull this off. Socks and sandals go hand in hand with slacks
pulled up under the armpits and cinched tightly with a belt. If it's
cold enough to wear socks, for goodness sake, put on some decent shoes
and save your flipflops and sandals for warm summer months.
